The card prints 1 attack. The strongest asks for 3 Energy and returns 250 damage, which is 83 damage for every Energy card attached.

Drapion VSTAR 119 — every printed attack, its cost and its damage
Attack	Energy cost	Cards of Energy	Printed damage	Damage per Energy	Effect
Big Bang Arm	2 Darkness + 1 Colorless	3	250−	83	This attack does 10 less damage for each damage counter on this Pokémon.

Retreating costs a further 3 Energy, discarded from this card, and that cost is paid on top of anything in the table.

Big Bang Arm3 Energy cards

The Energy this attack asks a deck to attach before it can be used, drawn as the symbols printed on the card.

One Energy card attaches per turn, so the number of symbols is also the number of turns the attack waits.

Big Bang Arm 3 Energy250 damage for 3 Energy — 83 per Energy card250

Bars are printed damage against this card's own highest attack (250).

Why one of these damage figures carries a symbol

A number on a Pokémon card is not always the number that lands.

Big Bang Arm is printed as 250−, so the printed number is a ceiling — the attack starts there and the sentence beside it takes damage away.

What Drapion VSTAR 119 does without attacking

Drapion VSTAR 119 carries 1 printed effect that work outside the attack step, so it can matter on a turn the card never attacks.

Printed effects

Capped at once a turn

None

Read from the printed text quoted below, not counted anywhere else.

Hazard Star — Ability

During your turn, you may make your opponent's Active Pokémon Paralyzed and Poisoned. During Pokémon Checkup, put 3 damage counters on that Pokémon instead of 1. (You can't use more than 1 VSTAR Power in a game.)

Quoted from the card face. The label after the dash is how the card itself names the effect.

Why this sits apart from the attacks

An attack costs Energy and ends your turn. What is printed above does neither — it is available while the card is in play, so it is a different kind of cost to a deck. Attack costs are in the section above.

This effect places damage counters, which is not the same as dealing damage

Hazard Star puts damage counters on a Pokémon rather than dealing damage to it. One counter is ten damage on the board, but the rules keep them apart: effects that reduce or prevent damage do not stop counters from being placed, and weakness and resistance are not applied to them.

Back to summary

Is Drapion VSTAR 119 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 250 damage attack that needs 3 Energy and one that needs two are different cards. Dividing one by the other puts every attack on the same scale.

Where this sits once the archive is cut by damage instead

The bars above cut the archive by what an attack asks for. Cut the same archive by what an attack prints and the groups come out differently — the damage ranges on record are gathered on one page, which is where a figure like 250 is read as high or low rather than merely large.

Back to summary

Is Drapion VSTAR 119 strong for a VSTAR card?

VSTAR cards are built large to begin with, so measuring this one against the whole archive mixes up what the mechanic gives it with what the card itself gives it. Measured inside its own group, the two come apart.

Hit points270 HPtypical for the group is 271 HP — this card is 0% below

Top printed damage250 damagetypical for the group is 167 damage — this card is 50% above

The group is every VSTAR card in the archive — 94 of them. Each figure is compared with what that group typically prints, not with the archive as a whole.

What does being a Darkness card do for Drapion VSTAR 119?

Type decides two things at once — which cards take double damage from this one, and which cards deal double to it. Both are read from the weakness printed on each group, not from a rule of thumb.

Deals double to this card 1,884 Fighting cards carry that type A Fighting attack printed at 135 damage is enough to remove this card in one turn.

This card cannot be played from your hand onto an empty spot — it goes on top of Drapion V.
The line runs 4 stages, so the first card has to be in play 3 turns before this one can be.

Bars are the highest HP ever printed on that stage, measured against the top of this line (270 HP). The note beside each bar is the hardest attack printed at that stage.

Every print of a stage is counted, not just the one shown in the chain above, so the bar is the ceiling that stage has reached rather than one card from it.

Back to summary

Is this the strongest Drapion print, and can the older ones still be played?

19 prints carry this name in the archive. They share a Pokémon but not a card — printed HP, printed damage and tournament legality all move from one print to the next.

Bar height and the number above each bar = highest HP that year; the two digits below = the year.

Rows run from the toughest print down. Bars are printed HP, measured against the toughest print of this name shown here (270 HP), and the highlighted row is the card this page is about.

5 of the 19 prints listed here are legal in Standard play. An older print of the same Pokémon is a different card for legality, because legality is read from the print rather than from the name — so owning the cheap old copy does not always mean you can enter with it.

Which rules apply to Drapion VSTAR 119, and where can it be played?

Two kinds of rule meet on one card — the sentence printed on the card face, and the rulebook clauses that apply because of what the card carries.

The rule printed on this card

“VSTAR rule: When your Pokémon VSTAR is Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.”

Prize cards your opponent takes when it is knocked out

Every knockout carries the opponent 2 steps closer to winning, and that is the cost of putting this card on the field whatever it cost to buy.

Drapion VSTAR 119 in depth — what these figures add up to

Three readings of the same card, side by side: what it costs to get going, where it sits among the cards it will be compared with, and what takes it off the field.

What it asks a deck for

Its hardest attack, Big Bang Arm, needs 3 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 3 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 83 damage for every Energy card attached.
Moving it out of the active spot costs 3 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.
It cannot start the game in play — Drapion V has to be on the field first.

Where its HP stands, cut four ways

Every card in the archiveNo. 611 of 17,290

Darkness cardsNo. 83 of 1,248

VSTAR cardsNo. 38 of 94

Lost OriginNo. 6 of 177

What actually removes it

A Fighting attack printed at 135 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 270 HP.
255 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 945 cards in one attack.

Drapion VSTAR 119 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Drapion VSTAR 119?

Drapion VSTAR 119 has 270 HP and a Fighting weakness at ×2, so a Fighting attack printed at 135 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 270.

What is the strongest attack on Drapion VSTAR 119?

Big Bang Arm, printed at 250 damage for 3 Energy — 83 damage per Energy card. This attack does 10 less damage for each damage counter on this Pokémon.

What is the retreat cost of Drapion VSTAR 119?

3 Energy, discarded from this card to move it out of the active spot. Retreating is allowed once per turn.

What does the − after the damage on Big Bang Arm mean?

It marks the damage as conditional: the printed figure is the most it can deal, and the sentence on the card says what is taken away. The full sentence is printed on the card and quoted in the attack table on this page — "This attack does 10 less damage for each damage counter on this Pokémon."

Does Drapion VSTAR 119 deal damage or place damage counters?

It places damage counters. One counter is ten damage on the board, but the two are different things in the rules: weakness and resistance are not applied to counters, and effects that reduce or prevent damage do not stop counters from being placed.

Can an older Drapion print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 19 prints listed on this page, 5 are legal in Standard play. The rest can still be played in formats that accept them, and the table on this page names the regulation mark each print carries.

What does Drapion VSTAR evolve from?

Drapion V. It cannot be played straight from your hand onto an empty spot — the earlier stage has to be in play first.

Can Drapion VSTAR 119 be played in a tournament?

It is legal in Unlimited and Standard and Expanded play, and it carries regulation mark F. Standard events run on a rotating list of sets, so check the current rotation before entering one.

What does the rule on Drapion VSTAR 119 mean?

The card reads “VSTAR rule: When your Pokémon VSTAR is Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.” That sentence is printed on the card itself, so it applies wherever the card is played.

Does this page say how good Drapion VSTAR 119 is in a deck?

No. Every figure here is read from the printed card. Deck lists, tournament results and win rates are not published on this site, because the card files it reads do not contain them.
